Extended read
Patient Capital Management fully divested its 2.79 million share position in Mattel during the first quarter of 2026, realizing approximately $50.9 million from the sale. This exit occurs despite the success of the Barbie movie, as Mattel's stock has fallen 24% over the past year, lagging the S&P 500. The move suggests that even positive catalysts may not be enough to overcome broader concerns or fundamental challenges for the toy maker in the eyes of some institutional investors.
